From editor Stuart Brumfitt (formerly of GQ, Fantastic Man, i-D, and The Face no less) comes Bagel, a tennis title focusing on the sport’s ‘increasing diversity, influence on fashion and participation in popular culture.’ The name, as keen fans will already know, refers to a set ending in a 6-0 scoreline.
This fourth issue for 2026 features ascendent pro-tennis star Alex Eala on the cover—inside, the ‘new fan favourite’ sits down with fellow Filipina and amateur player Rebekah Reyes to discuss match day style, the new generation of tennis enthusiasts putting the Philippines on the map, and why the sport is a marathon, not a sprint. Elsewhere, you’ll find photographs from Alexander Aguiar’s tour of Europe’s clay courts—from Barcelona to Rome, by way of Monte Carlo; Italian pro Mattia Bellucci on his ongoing collaboration with heritage sportswear brand C.P. Company; an introduction to multi-Grand Slam champion Fred Perry’s former New Malden club; as well as features spanning the US Open’s extravagant F&B offerings, to the ‘Internet’s thirstiest’ fandom.
